A Discontented Heart

by FlawlesslyTarnished   Mar 7, 2009


Wounded from the past; now scared of letting go
A broken heart and ash burnt pictures, still won't help her grow
Blocked out memories; repressed hostility; subdued desires
Struggling to prevail, though hidden, through her walls of fire

Masqueraded imperfections; jaded with a broken heart
Seemingly sincere, and suppression through her work of art
Afraid to open up, to allow herself these blissful moments
Camouflaged behind a smile; shadowing her torments

Afflicted from her past relationships, with the liars and the cheats
How could she learn to trust again, always feeling incomplete?
How can she give away her heart, when the pieces are astray?
Who would want a tattered, torn up love; to love for everyday?

    I love the begining of the peom. It's a grat way to start it. It's very unique. And you had me hooked from the first 2 lines. I love the ending as well. And the inagery is perfect. The emotion is definitely there.I love the wroding of the poem. You have a grat vocabulary. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that I didn't really undertand it as wellas I wanted to. I had to read it about 2-3 times before I could really understandthe poem. But it's still an excellent poem.

    I think the title fits well.
    I'm a punctuation nut, and the only punctuation I saw was question marks and semi colans. If you added some periods and commas it would flow better for me. The never ending sentences just kinds ruined it for me.
    Also, it felt like there was a rhyme scheme, but it got lost in some parts of the poem.
    Other than that, I did enjoy it.
